A visual function detection apparatus includes: a display controller that causes an image for determination to be displayed on a display screen of a display unit; a gazing point detector that detects a position of a gazing point of the test subject observing the display screen; a positional relation detector that detects a positional relation between a position of the image for determination on the display screen and the position of the gazing point; and a visual function detector that detects a visual function of the test subject based on the positional relation.

Visual function detection apparatus, method of detecting visual function, and program

A visual function detection apparatus includes: a display controller configured to cause an image for determination to be displayed in a display region on a display screen of a display unit and move the image for determination within the display region; a gazing point detector configured to detect a position of a gazing point of a test subject observing the display screen; a relation detector configured to detect relation information among a position of the image for determination on the display screen, a moving direction of the image for determination, and a moving direction of the gazing point; and a visual function detector configured to detect a visual function of the test subject based on the relation information.

A driving assistance apparatus includes: a driver identifying unit that identifies a driver driving a vehicle; an evaluation data obtaining unit that obtains, based on an identification result of the driver identifying unit, evaluation data on the driver's visual cognitive ability for an event that occurs when the driver is driving the vehicle; an event detecting unit that detects, on the basis of surrounding information data indicating a situation of the vehicle's surroundings, whether or not the event has occurred; and a processing unit that determines, in a case where the event has been detected and on the basis of the evaluation data on the driver, the evaluation data being related to the event, whether or not notification information is to be output from an output unit.

Driving assistance apparatus, driving assistance method, and medium

A gaze detection device includes a display screen configured to display an image; a sound output device configured to output a sound; a gaze point detector configured to detect a position of a point of gaze of an observer observing the display screen; an area setting unit configured to set a specific area on the display screen or part of the image; a determination unit configured to, when the specific area is set on the display screen or the image, determine whether the point of gaze is within the specific area on the basis of a result of the detecting the position of the point of gaze; and an output controller configured to cause the display screen to display the image and cause the sound output device to output the sound and adjust at least a mode in which the sound is output.
